AVITOPIA - Birds of the Netherlands (AVITOPIA - Birds of the Kingdom of the Netherlands)

The Netherlands are very low relative to sea level. The highest point reaches 321 m, but about half of the land area is less than one meter above and about a quarter is even below sea level. There is a mild maritime climate. The Netherlands has 20 national parks and hundreds of other nature reserves. The Dutch part of the Wadden Sea is a UNESCO World Heritage Nature Site. It is home to a rich flora and fauna and many millions of birds rest during migration. With their lakes, dunes, heaths, forests and other habitats, the Netherlands offer a large number of areas that are important for biodiversity and bird protection. BirdLife International has registered more than a hundred areas as IBAs. This multilingual (en, de, fr, es, ja, cn) bird guide introduces the entire bird life of the Netherlands in colored pictures. As a bonus, links to HD videos of more than 150 bird species and to audios of more than 85 species are included- Where available, links to the valuable websites of UNESCO, BirdLife International and the Ramsar Organization are provided, which characterize the country and help to find the best sites for birdwatching.
